So, I'm looking at making a few changes to my routine after the meet. It's been working great so far, but I don't want things to get stale and I need to update my deadlift day since it's in my garage now that I've been banned from deadlifting in the gym. Here is what I was thinking so far.

Right now your bench and deadlift strength is moving along at a good pace. Your squats are progressing, but more slowly.

You need to keep a focus on building overall strength, especially making your triceps and back as strong as humanly possible. I also think quads strength needs to be a focus.

I think you should move to squatting 2x a week.

There probably isn't much in your program that I would change other than that addition. I think more squats and stronger quads are going to build that deadlift up.

Deadlifts I am thinking about cycling between 2 or 3 waves.

How does this sound?

Thanks for the thoughts! What days would I be doing squats in your mind? Day 3, about the best I can do right now is front squats or zercher squats since I'm not in the gym that day, but I'd be 100% happy to add another day in the gym if that would help.

Perhaps let's back track for a moment. What days can you go to the gym each week?

Would it be possible to do a Monday-Friday squat and bench focus and a Wednesday deadlift/home day?
